NAME
Plack::Middleware::RealIP - Override client IP with header value provided by proxy/load balancer
SYNOPSIS
enable 'Plack::Middleware::RealIP',
header => 'X-Forwarded-For',
trusted_proxy => [qw(192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.1)];DESCRIPTION
Plack::Middleware::RealIP is loose port of the Apache module mod_remoteip. It overrides REMOTE_ADDR with the IP address advertised in the request header configured with header.
When multiple, comma delimited IP addresses are listed in the header value, they are processed from right to left. The first untrusted IP address found, based on trusted_proxy, stops the processing and is set to be REMOTE_ADDR. The header field is updated to this remaining list of unconfirmed IP addresses, or if all IP addresses were trusted, this header is removed from the request altogether.
CONFIGURATION
header
Sets a request header to trust as the client IP, e.g. X-Client-IP
trusted_proxy
A list of IP addresses or subnet blocks which are trusted to provide IP header.
